<p>My name is Manigandan K. and I am a production supervisor at <strong>Straive</strong> who will be handling the production of your new books, <strong>Advances in Cryptology – ASIACRYPT 2025 [</strong><b>Part II, III, IV & V</b><strong>]</strong>, on behalf of Springer. I will be your main production contact and will oversee the production of the text of your book from manuscript to final print and online files.</p>
<p>After having reviewed the work, I would like to highlight the following production-specific notes:</p>
<strong><em>PRODUCTION SCHEDULE</em></strong><br>

(Conference copies will be delivered as arranged)</p>
<p>As you can see I have allocated <strong>1 day</strong> for you to review the front and back matter pages which will be electronically sent to you. These should all be checked by you and not forwarded to the authors. If you will not be available during that time period, please let me know <strong>upon receipt of this email</strong> so that I can adjust the proposed schedule.</p>
<p><strong><em>MANUSCRIPT STYLING</em></strong></p>
<p>I would also like to bring to your attention certain changes recommended by the publisher that will be incorporated into the proofs:</p>
<p></p><ul>
<p></p><li><strong>Book Structure</strong> - The book structure can contain the following main elements and will be split into front matter, parts (if parts exist), chapters, and back matter (including appendices if they exist) and is attached as a document file to this email. Please note that only the chapters will have individual DOIs with which they can be cited. The other elements will be freely accessible in the online version. Please review and confirm the final structure to me by email, or let me know if changes to the structure are necessary.<br>
In case no reply is received within 2 days after this mail was sent, the structure is considered as accepted and we will continue with the book structure as initially proposed.<br>
Confirming the final structure at this stage will lead to an efficient book production process. Changes in the confirmed structure at later stages in the production cannot be accepted.</li><p></p>
<p></p><li><strong>CE Preface</strong> - Please find attached a pdf of the copyedited front-matter pages. Please take a good look at the proposed corrections to the front-matter pages and check and answer comments/questions by the copyeditor, if any.</li><p></p></ul><p></p>
<p>Kindly get back to me with your approval or comments by <strong>November 26, 2025</strong>.
</p><p></p>
<p>I look forward to working with you on the production of this book. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.</p>
Best Regards,<br>
Manigandan K.<br>
